from Section IV - Improving Measurement and Theorizing About Implicit Bias
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 21 December 2024
On the basis of dual-process theories, we propose a model that accounts for the (lack of) convergence between explicit and implicit dispositions, the effects of explicit and implicit dispositions on controlled and automatic behavior, and changes in explicit dispositions that are based on self-observed automatic behavior. The model is characterized by nine direct effects among the constructs and measures that are included the model. Importantly, in this model, each effect can be moderated by characteristics of persons, situations, and person x situation interactions. As a general theoretical framework, the model can be applied to a variety of individual difference constructs such as personality traits, values, norms, attitudes, prejudice, beliefs, stereotypes, judgment bias, and discrimination. We present evidence from our research and from studies by other researchers that speaks to the validity and usefulness of the model. We propose that implicit–explicit consistency should be considered a variable in itself and demonstrate its usefulness for understanding some findings that have been reported in the self-concept and self-esteem literatures. We make suggestions for future research with an emphasis on the discrimination of automatic and controlled behavior using facial expressions of emotion as an example.
